""The basic principle of leadership in the U.S. Army, and particularly in light infantry units, is to always try to make decisions at the lowest possible level of command so they can be made as quickly as possible. On the battlefield, hesitation often breeds defeat" (348)." — Mar 30, 2026 08:56AM

""...the profoundest question that ethics can ask: is a natural ethic possible? Can morality survive without supernatural belief? Can philosophy, by molding an effective secular moral code, save the civilization which its freedom of thought has threatened to destroy? (372)." — Apr 16, 2026 09:06PM

""Moi, je suis l'Eternel et je n'ai pas change. A cause de cela, descendants de Jacob, vous n'avez pas encore ete extermines. Depuis le temps de vos ancetres, vous vous detournez de mes lois et vous n'y obeissez pas. Revenez donc a moi, et moi, je reviendrai a vous, declare l'Eternel, le Seigneur des armees celestes." - Malachie 3:6-7" — Apr 17, 2026 05:36AM

“Christianity enhanced the notion of political and social accountability by providing a new model: that of servant leadership. In ancient Greece and Rome no one would have dreamed of considering political leaders anyone's servants. The job of the leader was to lead. But Christ invented the notion that the way to lead is by serving the needs of others, especially those who are the most needy.”

“The War Department in Washington briefly weighed more ambitious schemes to relieve the Americans on a large scale before it was too late. But by Christmas of 1941, Washington had already come to regard Bataan as a lost cause. President Roosevelt had decided to concentrate American resources primarily in the European theater rather than attempt to fight an all-out war on two distant fronts. At odds with the emerging master strategy for winning the war, the remote outpost of Bataan lay doomed. By late December, President Roosevelt and War Secretary Henry Stimson had confided to Winston Churchill that they had regrettably written off the Philippines. In a particularly chilly phrase that was later to become famous, Stimson had remarked, 'There are times when men have to die.”

“If a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it.' Of course I was talking about Levi owning up to his mistakes. But as I finish this book, I realize it applies equally to myself, and to all of us as we try but fail to live up to the standards we know are right. Our inability and unwillingness to keep the standards don't make the standards any less valuable and good.”
